Name & Meaning: I have loved the name Brody for years and luckily Jake liked it too. His middle name is Joshua after Jake’s brother. We feel this is why Brody can be a hellion and wants to be a night owl…he is taking after his namesake!
Age: Brody will be 2 ½ of the 16th of this month!
Nicknames: Bro, Brod, Brodster, Bro Bro, little man, bubbie, and we sing his name Brody to the tune of Money, Money, Money…I know that sounds weird but it actually works pretty good with that tune.
Favorite Activities: Playing with toys that make noise, trains and train tracks, singing songs (well listening to me singing them), climbing on everything, chewing on his bear blanket, reading books, playing in the backyard by far his favorite thing to do which then consists of gathering rocks, eating dirt and throwing botchy balls on Grandma Donna’s flowers.
Favorite Foods: Toast and almost anything bread, raisins, sausages, apples, bananas, mini vanilla wafers, teddy grahams, hot dogs, fish sticks, applesauce, cereal in milk (those two are just recently since he has gotten better with utensils…yes he is late in that), fries – especially with ketchup!
Least Favorite: Have a tough time getting him to eat any meat other than hot dogs, since he has a hard time with utensils and hasn’t let me spoon feed him since he was about 15 months there are quite a few foods he misses out on
Favorite Music: 5 little moneys, 5 little ducks, wheels on the bus, head shoulders knees & toes, taking home my little baby bumble bee, row, row, row your boat, ABC, Elmo’s World theme song and lots more.
Favorite Toys: Trains and most toys that make noises, sorting and stacking toys and he loves his nightlight that we call Green Man.
Favorite Books: SO MANY!!! To name a few Dr Seuss’s ABC, Go Dogs Go, Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now, also he likes any book with trains, Mr Brown Can Moo Can You?, Old Hat New Hat and lots, lots more.
What makes him happy: Sad to say TV brings a huge smile to this boy’s face - well really only certain shows and movies. Right now he is obsessed with this short Disney cartoon of Pluto and Chip N’ Dale as well as the Disney Christmas Carol. He is very specific – Elmo’s World and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Playing outside, Mommy and sometimes Daddy (he is a big time momma’s boy). He loves being tickled and wrestling around – well wrestling appropriate for his age. He loves when you chase him or he chases you.
What makes him sad: Well as a toddler lots of things make him frustrated. Certain people who try to play or read a book with him that apparently haven’t made his short-list of people, sometimes when you offer him food and it’s not cool with him he freaks out. When I dance – I have no idea it’s just me and it’s pretty funny. Also he gets very frustrated because he can’t communicate very much.
We tag: Evan, Blake and Tatum’s little girls
Here is Brody with Green Man, his nightlight (its great because it can charge on the cord between nap time and when he goes to bed and then he can have it and not mess with the outlet or anything)!
